Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or
The Patek Philippe designers took inspiration from the ancient Greeks to design the Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or collection. The design principles of this modern and simply beautiful series of watches are based on the principle of the golden ratio, which was discovered in antiquity and has remained an important principle in art ever since. The aspect ratios of the Ellipse d'Or correspond to the perfect proportion discovered by the ancient mathematicians in Greece. The four timepieces in this harmonious collection reflect the perfect balance and that is part of their charm.
Harmony in the form of the ellipse
The ellipse is somewhere between a circle and a rectangle. It is the predominant shape in the Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or collection. The first Ellipse d'Or was presented by Patek Philippe as early as 1968. It was new and revolutionary. It stood out among the ordinary timepieces of its era and therefore still has a place in the hearts of luxury watch lovers today. Their timeless design, which dates back to ancient Greece, has outlasted the fads of recent decades and remains popular. The Ellipse d'Or is available in white gold, rose gold, yellow gold and platinum. The thin metal casings are combined with leather straps in black, brown and dark red.
Perfect proportions and simple design
Dials in blue and anthracite with a sunburst finish make the Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or collection a radiantly beautiful accessory. Applied indices in the corresponding precious metal complement the overall picture and underline the simple and sober dial design. Unnecessary flourishes are left out and this means that the divine proportion, i.e. the golden ratio, comes into its own even better. The four models feature high-quality 240 calibers. They are assembled by hand from delicate individual components and ensure the highest accuracy.
